Has there be any thought toward making the macro values available
via environment variables?  This would be good for commands that want
to be "intelligent" and have access to all the available information
(for which writing the commands out and parsing all the arguments is a
bit tedious), and also solves the problem of having to strip certain
characters from command output and user comments for fear of
inadvertently executing them.
